Join the movement and help make this non-sponsored independent channel become the top subbed car channel on YouTube, instead of corporate channels like Top Gear, subscribe to scotty: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuxpxCCevIlF-k-K5YU8XPA?sub_confirmation=1

Do you REALLY think your channel deserves more subscribers/viewers than f'ing TOP GEAR? I know it's gone downhill since the cool hosts left, but it's still leagues ahead of this channel. This video alone is proof that you simply do not know what you are talking about.

When I have Honda Accord parked next to my Tacoma. Both vehicles rush me on the amount of time I have to go open the doors after I unlock them with the remote before they lock themselves up again. Vice versa. Then I have to go back inside the house for the key to unlock them because I didnt know they would lock themselves up again. -.-

Scotty , you have no idea what you're talking abou about, the reason why the car wouldn't start is not because of RF, it's because the car has a voltage sensor control module that keeps the car in check and stops the run mode when the car senses an abnormally low voltage or over current draw. RF will not effect this vehicle. "Electronics Engineer for over 50 years"

That's cool I only connect one charger to my thing but you're right we always get the cheap things I went to the Dollar Tree to get mine then it broke and I went to CVS to get one can you do a video on how to permanent connect the power inverter thank you I really love your videos

My dad has the option of proper power points in our family car I just wanted to know it that could stuff up the electronics considering my dad knows nothing about cars so this is a new LandRover with all the new bells and whistles the thing beeps at everything. Anyway I just wanted to know if I have the all clear to use the PowerPoints in the car.

Hey Scotty, is it possible that having one of these plugged in 24/7 could have caused the battery light to turn on? My wife's car has it on, I got the battery checked and replaced the alternator but after 2 days it came back on

Those radio transmitter type adapters have jammers to clean up the frequency of your choice. They do a wide range to make sure the existing station doesn't cause white noise. I only use these adapters to listen to tunes on my phone through the radio, since it's a base model pickup its only got radio and roller windows.

I'm probably not having problems because 05's don't have much for RF sensors or controls. I've heard horror stories of some trucks that have RF gas pedals, so I'll be installing a proper aux charger and headphone jack on any new truck anyway.

Guilty! I have a cheap one in my 2009 BMW 135i. I've gotten random warnings firing off for a couple years. That POS is going in the bin! Thank you for the link to the Qualcomm model - it's on my list! As always, good stuff sir!

If you wire a mic into some speakers (ex: bluetooth speaker or something) and wave it around USB ports, you can pick up interference. I did that a while back when USB3 ports were new, and ultra-thins were popular. Some of the first USB3 ports had 1.5 - 2 foot interference bubbles around them. Just plug the mic into an audio port, record or play it back (or stereo mix in Windows) and then get it close and have a listen.

When my smartphone is checking for emails it has a 3 foot interference bubble. Makes clicking noises on nearby low quality speakers. They are great for detecting interference. If you have an 90's speakers left over, keep them as a tool.

Thanks again Scotty, timely information as always. And since you brought up the unseen effects of rfi, what about that 5G infrastructure that's being installed in America. According to scientists it's absolutely deadly!

I put four solar panels on the roof of my Town & Country, two deep cycle batteries run through a 4,000 watt inverter that can power a microwave, a TV, charge and run a computer and a cellphone. This separate electric system can supply high power, is reliable and doesn't interfere with the minivans own electrical system.

4:30 But caution - those power inverters will drain a battery quickly if the car isn't running with alternator recharging it.Also, those cheap USB chargers can fry your phone - same goes for cheap phone cables.
